![]() ![]() To be honest, my first impressions were still rather negative whenI first installed Aerofly FS2. ![]() Positive things I readabout, like very good frame rates (FPS), I rejected when I saw screenshots of the scenery: "Well, that's just static photo scenery", Isaid, "autogen only in very few areas, everywhere else is flat, noanimations of car traffic or water - no surprise really that FPS aregood!" That was it, for quite some time, until Dominic emailed mewith ideas of a possible review. You see, I had judgedAerofly FS2 way back when it was initially released as early access,and my ill informed decision was based solely on some screen shots ofthe user interface, weather settings (simpler even than X-Plane), andaircraft without (it seemed) any system depth. I did not know much about Aerofly FS2 before I started this review,but like most people with limited information, I came to an uninformedopinion and simply said, "I won't use that". I still fly with Aerofly FS2, andthis review is the story of that surprise. Prior to starting this review, I had assumed I'd simplyremove Aerofly FS2 from my hard disk once the article was finished.However, to my surprise I didn't. In my early days of flight simulation, I used FS2004 and FSX, thenmy focus shifted to X-Plane 9 and then more recently to X-Plane 11 andPrepar3D. ![]() Well, after using Aerofly FS2extensively over the past few months, I can honestly say that thenumber of simulators I now use, has jumped from two, to three - suchhas been my enjoyment (that is my verdict)! As such, I asked him if I could includesome comparative remarks regarding the other big simulators we haveall come to know - MSFS and X-Plane. However, shortly before I sent my text toFlightSim.Com's Dominic Smith (who kindly asked me to review AeroflyFS2 in December 2017), I wanted to make sure that he would be happywith my reviewing approach. It's not particularly common to start areview with the verdict, nor with a personal statement before theactual review starts. images/fsc/wbicons/store-buy-now-button.png ![]()
